Maybe that was because those sanctions didn't hurt much?

International trade keeps going. Just because some economies have curbed trading with Russia does not mean they've run out of trading partners. It is doubtful the sanctions would remain in place for long after a capitulation of Ukraine

I wonder what that scenario would bring the Russian army. Tactical nukes against military targets are not that much more effective than a bunch of conventional missiles. Nuking the population would be hard to justify in their narrative. On

If they could conquer Ukraine and effectively quell unrest, the Federation could be said to have come out stronger. That is very unlikely though, with the Ukrainian army getting effective support. If they manage to hold the land bridge to

I don't think the signal was intended primarily for the international audience. Putin is under a lot of pressure from hawks in his own ranks to win this war. They were asking him why he isn't mobilising. And now they will be sayin

Why would they not know who their partner is? Just because they trade in Bitcoin does not mean they must be anon. Bitcoin would be the wrong vehicle for that anyway, no? I would assume it to be possible to find contract work that's pai

For Elamite the language we have sources written in the Akkadian script. There are reasons to believe that the few Linear Elam inscriptions discovered today record the same Elamite language. You'd not be writing in a new language, just

You've added a pile of arguments that there might not be a local market for Bitcoin at all. Sure, that may be the case. Who are you arguing with? This is what I saw as incomplete: > This means someone local, who can transact in rubl

Haha, indeed! Fixed.

We've put together an online corpus of Linear Elamite: https://center-for-decipherment.ch/tool/#elam The Linear Elamite script has already seen claims of decipherment. But most of it was just circular conjectures.

Before, you said that nobody in the local market has Bitcoin. Now you're arguing the opposite, that nobody in the local market wants Bitcoin. Sure, both can be true, when there's just no market. But that's a different argumen

No actually you can sell services (software, as the original comment alluded) and get Bitcoin in return. These Bitcoin can be sold for Rubles, or bread, or whatever. There's no forex involved unless people want the convenience of excha

Yes those must have been Starlink's. I was in awe the first time I saw that string of lights. And if you wait a bit, they come around again! They are in a low orbit and very fast relative to earth because of that.

Hm, I just dislike magic like that. It tends to go wrong in weird ways. If I'd compile it and symlink to it as fgrep-gnu for example. But of course, the wrappers would be even more confusing, executing the system grep, not the compiled

Thanks for the lineup! Seems quite the waste that this would change every five years. So removing seems a good option. I didn't like the arg0 magic, so I'm happy that is gone. Funny to think I had to be in the right time window to

I have numerous scripts in production that rely on fgrep. Not sure about egrep. So I'm happy there's a warning before these commands are eventually removed.

Advanced radar spoofing is exactly the kind of tech an army would test on itself without telling all units.

The way I understood it, the questions determined that Facebook didn't even try to gather the evidence they were required to. Saying "we didn't want to do that because it is hard" may fly when they know how hard it is. B

Isn't this project mostly about interfaces for businesses to connect their guts? The language used to implement services behind common interfaces shouldn't matter all that much. It's just the reference implementation in js, n

My family and coworkers would just go "haha who that weirdo sending nudes of you?" They would see fault with that person, not me. But some people could be spooked by the threat, yes. I wonder whether this population is large enoug

As a reporter, Krebs failed to promptly disclose or retract when the source turned out to be the leak. That means my understanding of events was left incomplete for longer than it should have been. So he wronged Ubiquity, which I don't

Cute. I typically use an array of Git commands per hour of working. I consult the manual or a how-to maybe once every other week. Re-cloning a repo happens less than once a year for me. Can't remember the last time I had to do that. An

Nice hack! That sounds so easy that I wonder what the catch is. Maybe it would need more energy for cooling than what it generates? So it would have to be scaled up to a size where the surface-to-content ratio becomes favourable. There migh

Don't remember where I read it but I find the perspective useful that a corporation with its rules does "artificial intelligence" by bundling human intelligence.

Haha, I loved reading Rand in my teens. Also Tolkien. Somehow people are comfortable with having read the one fantasy land, not the other. I guess it's because Tolkien didn't write to change current politics. Rand did. I did relat
